It was in response to the statements of the President and the entire Government, after support for the Omnibus Law was frustrated, the vote in particular.


After the session in the Chamber of Deputies collapsed and a good part of the Omnibus Law was wrecked, the Government came out to criticize the governors for having, according to President Javier Milei himself, "

destroyed" it and "turned their backs on the Argentines"

.

Taking into account that a good part of the consensuses negotiated by the Executive were with the provinces that respond to Together for Change, from there

there was agreement in stating that the ruling party's proposals were supported

and that in any case the law had a strong setback

It obeyed what was done by deputies from other provinces

, including those governed by Peronism or by local forces.

Around 9 p.m., all the governors came out clapped in a statement.

"The 10 governors of Together for Change, together with the national deputies who represent the citizens of the different provinces that we govern, accompany the package of emergencies and powers requested by the national government, we fulfill the publicly assumed commitment to help the incoming Government with the tools that it believes are necessary to make the transformations that our country requires," they said.

And they added, in a forceful manner: "

It is not appropriate then that they hold us

all equally responsible

or that they disrespect us

by alleging little desire for dialogue and inability on our part, when in reality we work tirelessly to achieve the consensus necessary for the approval of the Base Law.

The statement from Together for Change, with the signature of the 10 governors.

The signatories were Jorge Macri (CABA), Leandro Zdero (Chaco), Ignacio Torres (Chubut), Gustavo Valdés (Corrientes), Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy), Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza), Marcelo Orrego (San Juan), Claudio Poggi (San Luis) and Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe).

"

The 10 provinces of Together for Change complied with the agreement

," commented sources close to the governors who are presumed to be allies of the Government, beyond the fact that different nuances around the law made them negotiate to lower a good part of the official text.

Although they overwhelmingly approved the general document sanctioned last Friday, after the vote on the particular articles, milleism came out strongly to question them on networks.

From the sector of JxC governors they stated that the deputies who respond to those provinces had general support for the changes that were not approved today.

"Misiones, Córdoba, Salta, Neuquén, Río Negro and Tierra del Fuego voted against them," they argued.

These are provinces that report to the PJ or local parties.

The only governor of Together for Change who came out to publicly declare was, in TN, Ignacio Torres, from Chubut and a representative of the PRO.

Torres said that the provinces supported and spoke of "

Tweet incontinence of the Government

."

"“It's like the story of the little shepherd, you can lie once or twice but whoever counts the votes will realize that it is a false epic of a battle that is not such, because the governors accompany us. It is much simpler than what it seems," said the man from Chubut in relation to the statements of Milei, Guillermo Franco and La Libertad Avanza's own account.

Furthermore, in voiceover, they distanced themselves from We Make the Federal Coalition, the bloc that had 14 deputies voting against, for example, the approval of article 4 of the Bases Law.

"It cannot be counted as a block of governors, it is an administrative block, which has the Civic Coalition and Margarita Stolbizer's GEN," they maintained.

And they highlighted that leaders such as Miguel Pichetto, Emilio Monzó and Nicolás Massot supported the law.
